Thierry Henry questions how Romelu Lukaku will adapt to life at Man Utd

Lukaku made it clear towards the end of last season of his desire to leave Goodison Park and said he wanted to join a team capable of challenging for trophies as he didn't feel that was the case at Everton.

And he got his wish when United paid £75m for his services.

Jose Mourinho led United to glory in the Europa League and EFL Cup in his debut season in charge at Old Trafford last term.

Everton meanwhile have not won a trophy since their 1995 FA Cup triumph.

“The only question is how long it takes him to adapt”

Thierry Henry on Romelu Lukaku

Lukaku averaged better than a goal every game during his time at Goodison Park but Arsenal legend Henry believes the Belgium international will face a different kind of test with the Red Devils.

"The only question is how long it takes him to adapt," Henry told Sky Sports. "He's not going to be facing the same type of opposition at the weekends.

"He is going to have to develop a part of his game that maybe people have questioned in the past. Can he play in the final third when the opposition sit deep?

Thierry Henry doesn't know how long it will take Romelu Lukaku to settle at Man Utd

"It will be a change for him, but I wasn't the same player at 24 as I was at 28. It comes with the habit of playing in that kind of situation, of playing with better players.

"What I can say about him is that he is a massive student of the game. Everything he does, he does at 100 per cent.

"I'm as excited as anyone to see how good he is going to be at United. It's definitely a plus to have a guy like Romelu in your team. Anything that drops in the box is usually a goal."
